Claiming Tax Relief

The Inland Revenue has accepted that tax relief may be claimed on members subscriptions.

Since 1994 you have been allowed a tax credit on ‘professional Subscriptions’, your Federation dues are such a subscription and as such you should be claiming the allowance, and this can be done for as many as 4 previous years.

You should check you P60’s and if they do not show an allowance for ‘Professional Subscriptions’ in any year since 1994.

This can now be done online selecting this link –

You will need to create an online ID with the GOV.UK website to do this.
